When motor is loose move it is such a way to wiggle out the pivot and arm through the bracket center hole. A box end wrench or thumb wheel with socket will be needed. On the top of the pivot shaft where the arms meet will be a ‘J’clip holding them on the shaft (be careful removing the clip ….that thing will go ’ping’, never to be seen again somewhere under your dash.)

Total removal is an option but doing so at this point would put a strain on the wiper arm mechanism.

The motor is mounted to a large metal bracket which is attached to the firewall with 4 bolts (2 lower and 2 at top). The wires from the motor will have a FORD quick connect (alternate pair of male/female). I’ll assume you know how to remove your instrument panel for access behind it.
